Solved the VLC and FFMPEG trouble, but cannot install the archlinux-appstream-data 20180221-1 :(

I have version 20180318-1 of that package.
Maybe you should try command:

sudo pacman -Syyu

or if that doesn’t help, try changing mirrors at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, hopefully some of them are more up to date.

Didnt work, but @Archrysler gave me the solution! :)

rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/local/archlinux-appstream-data-20180221-1

And then update and reinstall!
